This is a question probably for Apollo or Joey, but if anyone else has an answer I'd appreciate the help. I'm currently sitting at 39 years for the cap. Can I drop Brandon Roy who i had signed for 2 years, and simply pick up someone else off waivers without using my 'amnesty' clause on that person?

If I've read the rules right i can drop Roy and pick up another player, but Roy's '2 years' still counts against my cap, which means at that point I'm at 40? Am i right in this?

Absolutely. If you are okay with his 2-years remaining against your cap, drop him to the wire and pick someone new up. And as you kind of said already, you can only sign them to a 1-year deal, which will put you at the Cap; but because you're not signing over the 40-year cap, you will have first rights to extend him in the off-season, if you see fit.

I believe I know the answer to this question already, but I'm gonna ask anyways... Since I started the season at with a cap hold of 36, and I released and signed two players for one year, does it remain at 36 or go up to 38? Pretty sure it stays at 36 but I need confirmation so that I can start making more moves. My team is built for two years down the road, but I'd like to get at least ONE victory this season... haha

If you waive players their contracts will keep counting against your cap untill they expire. If you dropped 2 with a 1yr contract, you're now at 38.
